Purpose: Compared to CONV-RT (with conventional dose rate), FLASH-RT (with ultra-high dose rate) can provide biological dose sparing for organs-at-risk (OARs) via the so-called FLASH effect, in addition to physical dose sparing. However, the FLASH effect only occurs, when both dose and dose rate meet certain minimum thresholds. This work will develop a simultaneous dose and dose rate optimization (SDDRO) method accounting for both FLASH dose and dose rate constraints during treatment planning for pencil-beam-scanning proton therapy. Methods: SDDRO optimizes the FLASH effect (specific to FLASH-RT) as well as the dose distribution (similar to CONV-RT). The nonlinear dose rate constraint is linearized, and the reformulated optimization problem is efficiently solved via iterative convex relaxation powered by alternating direction method of multipliers. To resolve and quantify the generic tradeoff of FLASH-RT between FLASH and dose optimization, we propose the use of FLASH effective dose based on dose modifying factor (DMF) owing to the FLASH effect. Results: FLASH-RT via transmission beams (TB) (IMPT-TB or SDDRO) and CONV-RT via Bragg peaks (BP) (IMPT-BP) were evaluated for clinical prostate, lung, head-and-neck (HN), and brain cases. Despite the use of TB, which is generally suboptimal to BP for normal tissue sparing, FLASH-RT via SDDRO considerably reduced FLASH effective dose for high-dose OAR adjacent to the target. For example, in the lung SBRT case, the max esophageal dose constraint 27 Gy was only met by SDDRO (24.8 Gy), compared to IMPT-BP (35.3 Gy) or IMPT-TB (36.6 Gy);in the brain SRS case, the brain constraint V12Gy≤15cc was also only met by SDDRO (13.7cc), compared to IMPT-BP (43.9cc) or IMPT-TB (18.4cc). In addition, SDDRO substantially improved the FLASH coverage from IMPT-TB, e.g., an increase from 37.2% to 67.1% for lung, from 39.1% to 58.3% for prostate, from 65.4% to 82.1% for HN, from 50.8% to 73.3% for the brain. Conclusions: Both FLASH dose and dose

In this paper, we develop a macroscopic finite-difference scheme from the mesoscopic regularized lattice Boltzmann (RLB) method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs) and convection-diffusion equation (CDE). Unlike the commonly used RLB method based on the evolution of a set of distribution functions, this macroscopic finite-difference scheme is constructed based on the hydrodynamic variables of NSEs (density, momentum, and strain rate tensor) or macroscopic variables of CDE (concentration and flux), and thus shares low memory requirement and high computational efficiency. Based on an accuracy analysis, it is shown that, the same as the mesoscopic RLB method, the macroscopic finite-difference scheme also has a second-order accuracy in space. In addition, we would like to point out that compared with the RLB method and its equivalent macroscopic numerical scheme, the present macroscopic finite-difference scheme is much simpler and more efficient since it is only a two-level system with macroscopic variables. Finally, we perform some simulations of several benchmark problems, and find that the numerical results are not only in agreement with analytical solutions, but also consistent with the theoretical analysis.
